Seriously - free #strategic advice for every government: Do not build infrastructure on systems over which you have no control.

"but we have a contract"

Cool cool are you able to change business decisions within the contracted party? Probably no. You have a risk you simply cannot control or mitigate.

This is why #FOSS should be at the heart of all national digital infrastructures.

Finally, it looks like the climate movement’s efforts (& the efforts of the teals) with the Office of National Intelligence (ONI) climate risk assessment are bearing some fruit. A briefing for the climate independents but not the Coalition or the Greens!!

But that report is about external risks and “isn’t the full picture of risks to Australia from climate change. There is also the separate commission of a DOMESTIC National Climate Risk Assessment, the first pass of which came out in March 2024, with the government’s assistant minister for climate change, Josh Wilson, identifying that “basically EVERYTHING” is at significant risk because of climate change.”
